The Way of the Tree

when you become filled with negative emotions
because of the things you want
and can’t have
try wanting
inner peace

the way of the tree
teaches the way to end suffering

trees point towards the forgotten stillness in your center

trees reveal what we’ve lost

For example:

who invented the flavor of oranges, apples and peaches?
trees

THE EVIDENCE OF AWARENESS WITHOUT THOUGHT

The first flowers evolved during the Cretaceous period, about 130 million years
ago, in China, which had no borders back then. This lead to the spread of
flowering trees and the evolution of bees around the world.

bees and trees grew more sophisticated together
through symbiosis, evolution, and mutual arising

how were trees able to participate in mutual arising
without having a brain?

if trees don’t know about teeth, tastebuds, or tummies
why does fruit change from bitter to sweet when it’s ready?
why is it nutritious and good for you?
why is it ready during the right season to be planted?
